Now pvt med colleges have to surrender unused seats to Govt

Now pvt med colleges have to surrender unused seats to Govt



By Vikas Vaidya


Maharashtra Government has mandated that the seats that remained vacant for seven days after the second round of institute-level admissions would be deemed as restored to the Government. The mandate further clarifies that those seats would be allotted to the students on the basis of their scores in National Eligibility Entrance Test (NEET).
This initiative comes in the wake of a Supreme Court ruling in Priya Gupta versus State of Chhattisgarh last year directing certain steps for improvement in MBBS and BDS admissions. The apex court had also directed that the seats thus vacant after second round of insitution-level admissions would be filled through competent authority of State Governments till September 15, cancelling out the need for a separate round of counseling.
The peculiarity of this initiative is that Maharashtra Government has taken it in order to correct one violation of the SC directive on its own last year when it had interpreted the ruling as not applicable to private medical colleges. It is within wraps whether the tate Government has effected this course-correction on its own or was threatened by some party to drag it back to the courts. It must be recorded that when the Maharashtra Government had created much flutter in educational circles when it indulged in a convenient interpretation of the apex court’s directive. 
Private medical colleges conduct three rounds of admissions. Last year they had tried to fill all their seats in second round only, and filled the few remainder seats at the institution level. Pravesh Niyantran Samiti (Admission Regulatory Committee) had objected to this action and had identified 240 such seats that were filled by violating the rules. Many parties had approached the courts seeking favourable direction to utilise those 240 seats. As a result, these admissions are still in abeyance as the matter is subjudice. ////

superspecialty seats at Nagpur’s Super Speciality


There is a reason for happiness for Nagpurians and medicos as City’s Super Speciality Hospital got superspeciality courses to two specialisations. These specialisations include Cardiology (now will have 2 seats in DM Cardio) and Gastroenterology (1 seat in DM Gastro). With this development now GMCH and Superspeciality both will get Sr. Residents also. Till now GMCH, Super Speciality did not have Sr. Residents which is the one loophole being pointed out during inspection by Medical Council of India (MCI) team. With this development Super Speciality Hospital became only one in State as well as in Central India to have Superspeciality course in Gastroenterology. DM Cardio is only in J J Hospital, Mumbai right now.
Recently the examination for admission to superspecility courses was conducted and result was also out. Now the seats of Nagpur too would be included so that students could opt those.
Dr Rajaram Powar, Dean, GMCH, Dr Sudhir Gupta, Head, Gastroenterology, Dr Mukund Deshpande, Head, Cardiology, Dr P P Deshmukh, Cardiology, Dr Amol Samarth, Gastroenterology, Pradip Deshpande, Chief Accountant were present during the press conference that held at Superspeciality hospital on Friday.

foreign returned MBBS students not to be admitted in PG in State quota

· By Vikas Vaidya Though Medical Council of India (MCI) has relaxed the rule of giving Eligibility Certificate for the students wanting to study in foreign countries, the troubles have not ended so far. Now Maharashtra Government has refused to give admission in the State quota of Post Graduate intake. Due to severe shortage of MBBS seats in the country, most of the Indian students are opting for medical colleges in China, Russia, Central America, the Philippines among others every year. Getting the degree in these countries is relatively cheaper. A student can complete MBBS abroad in less than Rs 30 lakh. In the state, the student has to pay, apart from the fee, a donation of up to Rs 80 lakh to get a seat in management quota. All this totals to Rs 1.5 crore. Earliers these students had to obtain eligibility certificate from MCI. This data has been obtained from Board of Intermediate Education to verify the age and qualifications for doing MBBS in foreign countries. Now MCI has ...
